I think Tess is probably quite good really. Everyone knows the show is very scripted and she and Bruce probably get told what to say and the comments that should be made back stage too.

I read an interview a while back when this series just started where crew members and runners said she was very nice and offered all of her dresses etc to the runners that she would have been allowed to keep and made sure that they were all OK.

But if they are looking for a new presenter, can I nominate Carol Smillie. She offers everying Natasha did but has tons of experience presenting, as well. Very natural in front of camera, intelligent and quick-thinking, which is necessary for live tv. But never forgets she's a professional presenter and that its not about her.

I think she would be very good but have a feeling SCD management may not like the idea as she definitely won't be taken as anyone's fool!”

VOTE FOR CAROL. VOTE FOR CAROL!!!!!!!!!

Initially when I watched SCD, I thought Tess was really good looking. She is someone who has natural advantages, tall, slim, blond, even features, potentially could look really classy while Kate Thornton had really bizzare dresses.

However as the weeks went by, Tess went downhill and i now think Kate Thornton is one of the most talented presenters on TV . Her clothes could be hit and miss but her presenting style, the way she handled the judges and contestants, her improvisation (when she said brain instead of shane, we laughed with her not at her, her recovery is commendable). Plus her delivery is really clear.

I'm sorry if she isn't in reality but Tess comes across as quite dim and not very experienced in presenting. All her questions seems scrpted and her delivery is not natural. its like seeing a not very experienced children's TV presenter or new journalist learning their craft except that they would be more enthusiastic and fresh.

okay, she doesn't make her clothes but at least she can have some input. If she isn't as slim as she used to be, she shoulddn't wear dresses that are too baggy at the waist, you need to be reed thin to get away with that without appearing larger than she is.

I agree with those who say her dancing should have improved. Its just not amusing how off time and bad her intro with Bruce is. People would respect her more if she could learn a few more basic steps.

Also didn't like her comments to brendan. I know it was a while ago but when she said you can't tell teh judges they've lost their plots brendan, or something like that, I think it was pretty obvious he just had!

I am sure Claudia is more than capable of presenting the show in place of Tess but LOL can you imagine Tess presenting ITT?”

I am not a fan of either of them but I prefer Tess to Kate Thornton.

Why on earth does Kate Thornton always hold her left hand like she is waiting to catch something in it.

It is so annoying.!

I think you are all being very harsh.
I think Tess is great, just a nice normal down to earth girl with no airs and graces.
Did you know she gets to keep most of her dresses and as she has so many now she gives them to make up artists and camera mens wives ect so everyone gets a beautiful dress, how many other people of TV think of others like that.
And I think she should ask harsher questions I personally think she is 2 soft.

I think people are referring to the time Emma Bunton was cross with Brendan for commenting on her scoring, and after they had clearly sorted out their differences Tess in front of everybody after Emma had got her scores that week asked Brendan what he thought of them!

It was just one of those awkward moments on SCD of which Tess is often responsible!

To be honest, I wouldn't want to keep dresses like that! They've been awful this series. If I were her, I'd take to bringing in some of my own.

Lol! Theres a thread around on here somewhere which is supporting Tess and the fact (is it a fact?) that she gives her dresses away is there main argument!

I agree....I wouldn't want to keep the dresses either - they're getting progressively worse!!!!

Yeah - me too! How about Patrick Kielty (is that how you spell it? - and yes, I know he ain't female

) ooooorrrrr FERNE COTTON???? I think she would be quite good!

I still think Claudia for Tess' job though would be great!

Actually - anybody else would be great!
